It seems like this web site has been crashing a lot.
(I am not giving you a hard time about it) Really I'm not.
Is there anything we can do as members to help out the 914World.com?
Do you (we) need new hardware? Money? Duct tape or WD40?

What can the grateful members in cyberland do to help?

As I have learned (more) in the last few days, configuration and tuning can make a world of difference on stability and performance of Wintel-based apps. (I had a huge semi-mission critical app go live at Boeing Seattle on Monday...yikes).

If you guys really want stability...move it to a Sun box with dual everything and Apache or iPlanet. I am pretty platform-neutral as I make about half my money from Wintel and half from UNIX; but I have yet to see a Windows box that will stay up continuously for 6-12 months. Including fairly major config or software changes along the way. Enough said.

Anyhow...I have what might be a dumb or offensive question so please don't take it the wrong way...but is this sucker (BBS) getting backed up? It sure would suck to have a drive bite the dust and lose all of this hard work of Andy/Jeroen/Brad etc. Not to mention all the archived content and pics. Just wondering.
